First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who came out to MyRadio Hip Hop Karaoke this past Saturday at the Highbury. Over 25 people got on the mic to perform their favorite hip-hop songs from the past and present and everyone did a great job. The diversity in the people performing and the song choices truly showed how hip-hop connects so many different people and why we love it. A special shout out goes to the ladies who held it down all night showing that they can rock it just as hard as the men.

We heard people perform songs from Whodini, Twista, Eric B & Rakim, Lil Kim, Eminem, Missy Elliot, Kreyshawn, 2 Chainz, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, Pharcyde, Gang Starr and more. But in the end somebody had to win, and they were Kevin and Tzipporah. Kevin performed Kendrick Lamar's "Rigamortis" with a freestlye at the end and Tzipporah performed A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario" and the remix back-to-back by herself. They took home a prize package from the sponsors MODA3, Hotpop, Pabst, The Highbury Pub, Wrap.fm and Unifi Records.

I think I speak for everyone in attendance that we all had a great time and didn't want the night to end. Clearly there are some closet MCs in Milwaukee... Or just some people who really know how to mimic other rappers very well. Either way, it didn't matter because it was fun. Also, I think the real winner of the night was Kendrick Lamar because five of his songs were performed throughout the night. | Dec. 10, 2012»Read Full Blog Post

MyRadio Karaoke is different than regular karaoke for two reasons. First, it's all hip hop songs and second, there is no TV with words. Particapants have to memorize the lyrics beforehand and perform the song live over the instrumental. The best performance will get a prize package from WRAP.fm, MODA3, Pabst, hotpop,True Skool and Unifi Records | Dec. 6, 2012»Read Full Blog Post
